What Andrew H likes about Columbia Restaurant:
We went to the Columbia for a Valentine's day dinner and the flamenco show. To start off with the restaurant itself is very beautiful and historic. Many locals recommended it as well. Our waitress (Savannah) was extremely attentive. All throughout the night she made us feel as if we were the only table she was taking care of. She gave us great recommendations about the food and what to order based on what we typicall... View all feedback.

read moreThe Columbia is a historic Tampa institution that offers timeless classics and authentic Spanish flavors. The restaurant's atmosphere is breathtaking, with beautiful architecture and a rich history. The attentive service, generous portion sizes, and fair pricing make for a memorable dining experience. The 1905 salad, crab croquettes, and white chocolate bread pudding come highly recommended. Make sure to catch their energetic flamenco show for added entertainment. While the food is rated as average by some, the overall experience and vibe make it worth a visit. Remember to make reservations in advance, as this popular spot fills up quickly.
Visited the Ybor City locationI loved the "old world" type feel of the restaurantWe were seated quickly and our waitress was very good.
Disappointing We had been to this place before, and it wasn't very memorable But we were in the area, and Precious wanted a decent mojito.
From its humble beginnings, The Columbia Restaurant Ybor City has met a lot of challenges over the years.
